Availability

Working from home gives me flexibility to take outside as needed. Dogs get outside multiple times per day so they get some energy out. This could be a walk, playing fetch or walk around property to sniff out their new surroundings. Unless requested dog would only be crated if I was not home for a short period of time.

I feel really comfortable leaving my pup with Joanne. She sent me pictures and updates on Ginger every day - they made me smile! Was wonderful to know my pup was being loved and so well cared for while I was away! Thank you, Joanne!

Joanne and her family provided a home away from home for our pups. She gave us so many updates and photos, which helped with us being away from them. They came home happy and tired from all the playtime. We would definitely book with Joanne again!

Joanne and her family have welcomed Gracie in as one of their own. I appreciate the attention they give her, and the regular pictures and updates! We couldn’t be more pleased, and Gracie is always happy to visit!
